Worldless is a game driven by its unique approach to combat and exploration – and part of that unique nature is that it makes it impossible to die at any point – but without losing a sense of challenge throughout. Let me explain how we achieved that. The combat of Worldless is a complex merge of the classic turn-based format with a high emphasis on action systems, pattern recognition and attack variety. A system with this much diversity and complexity requires constant engagement between the player and the game mechanics, and it can be hard to get to grips with it all – but once that penny drops, and all the systems click together it can lead to some extremely satisfying results. To encourage the player to continue trying, gel with the systems, and to not give up due to consistent “deaths” or “game overs” we opted to provide the player with what we feel is a better, less expected solution. Things start simple, allowing the player to get familiar with the basics – but later, the ga...

The Dyson Sphere Program is gearing up for a significant free update, titled Rise of the Dark Fog, set to release on December 15, 2023. This update introduces an innovative combat system to the game, a feature planned since the game’s initial release. Following the serene journey of interstellar construction, the emergence of the Dark Fog brings unexpected challenges to the player’s peaceful journey of automated production. With this addition, players will face a shift in focus from solely constructing production lines and leisurely exploring the universe. As players expand their reach, the Dark Fog will similarly grow, necessitating vigilance against its movements. Players must construct defensive structures, upgrade and reinforce their mecha, Icarus, and either repel the advancing Dark Fog forces or proactively destroy enemy bases. Previously, players might have focused on expanding factories after achieving basic automation. Now, the aggressiveness of the Dark Fog correlates...

Retro Shoot ’em Up meets rogue-like genre. Experience the synergetic perk system. Tips for beginner players. Return to the arcade scene where shmups dominated, but now on your Xbox with pixel graphics on your giant TV. Stellar Interface gives you that exact experience with a modern twist, using rogue-like elements where every run is different, both in terms of perks and enemies. Customize your Runs At the beginning of each run, you always choose a spaceship and its weapons. Still, as the game progresses new spaceships are unlocked, as well as new bosses, weapons, perks, enemies, and even environments. Each system is randomly generated,  and besides the normal ones where you have to overcome a few waves to progress, there are also levels with bosses (yes, plural!) and traders where you can equip your spaceship loadout.  So Many Perks… Each time you beat a level, you can choose a new perk to install on your spaceship, with more than 100 to choose from.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Multiplayer has been out in the world for a couple weeks, and we are thrilled to see that it has come with a great sentiment from the Call of Duty community, who have responded particularly well to the more fluid movement system and the modernized return of the 16 fan-favorite maps from Modern Warfare 2 (2009). Back on October 5, at the Call of Duty: Next broadcast , Sledgehammer Games developers took the stage to share all the innovations and details about what players could expect from Multiplayer at launch. Shortly after, the Beta kicked off and allowed players to get hands on experience with MP, which provided the opportunity for them to give feedback on the mode before its official launch on November 10. Fast forward to now, and Xbox players around the globe have been jumping into Modern Warfare III to experience this fan-favorite mode for themselves. First and foremost, the great reaction to Modern Warfare III MP has been something Sledgeh...

The year might be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean we can’t fit one more crossover into Dying Light 2 Stay Human before we see 2023 out. As we mentioned in our Sneak Peek, our last crossover event of the year will be with For Honor . So, Pilgrims, it’s time to sharpen your longswords, axes and katanas, because to fight off these noble warriors, you’re gonna need every advantage you can get! Ubisoft’s medieval-inspired brawler pits some of the Middle Ages’ toughest factions against each other in up to 4v4 combat and seemed like a natural collaboration for us. First, we’re both about action, with a little sprinkling of dismemberment and decapitation. Secondly, and most importantly, we both have diehard communities who love to be creative when it comes to combat. So, get ready to practice your warcry for when you head into battle. And if Japanese, Icelandic or Latin isn’t one of your spoken tongues, don’t worry, we’ll forgive the pronunciation. It’s time to scream “Jinjyo ni sh...

I’ve been a fan of first-person shooters on console for longer than I’d like to admit (GoldenEye, anyone?), and I’ve been privileged enough to experience the exponential expansion of the selection of quality FPS titles on Xbox. But as someone who has always craved a more realistic and immersive military simulator experience, the Arma series has traditionally been my go-to. None of the previous Arma titles have made it to console, and it’s been a sore spot for many console gamers. Eventually, fate led me to join Bohemia Interactive, right in the middle of the process of rebuilding Arma on a new engine. Arma Reforger is the first game built entirely on the new Enfusion Engine, and the first to introduce Arma’s multiplayer mil-sim experience to console. Now,  Arma Reforger  1.0 has officially been released for Xbox Series X|S, opening the doors to console gamers for the first time in the history of the franchise. For Xbox players that are brand new to the Arma games, here’...
